Trailing by as many as 25, the Clippers got a boost from Staples Center’s first capacity crowd of the year to rally and reach the West finals.

The Clippers rallied from 25 down to shock the Jazz in Game 6 and advance to the conference finals for the first time in franchise history.

The Clippers are one win away from their first appearance in the Western Conference finals after a gritty win in Utah without Kawhi Leonard.

Kawhi Leonard had the best dunk of this year’ NBA playoffs, but later left the LA Clippers’ Game 4 win over the Utah Jazz with an apparent leg injury.

In arguably the most important game of their partnership to date, Paul George and Kawhi Leonard combined for 65 points as the Clippers beat the Jazz.

Some NBA coaches and players painted a clear picture on how the mental toll of this season compared to life in the NBA bubble.

The Jazz led by as many as 21 before the Clippers rallied, but Donovan Mitchell and Utah made the big shots late to secure a 117-111 win.

After battling a tough start, Donovan Mitchell scored 45 points to lead the Jazz to a Game 1 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers.

Kawhi Leonard poured in 45 points while primarily guarding Luka Doncic on the other end as the Clippers forced a decisive Game 7 against the Mavs.
